Is there anywhere on bratabase that measures how far cups are separated at the BOTTOM?

I am close set, and it shows the gore width at the top. But when the cups swoop out at the band, they cut into me as I am close set all the way down.

Are there any wires shaped more like this (from center). |__/. Instead of a "U" shape to sit better against a flat infra mammary fold? Tired of my band being pushed down way too low :(

Also- I am confused about what the wire length tells me..the difference in center wire from a low gore would really change this, right? Does anyone have input on how to use that when trying to find the right fit? Does it have to do with how steeply the wires slope?

  • Have you tried Ewa Michalak? Their wires sit at the same place as the band and don't swoop down in a U shape (which really affects bra fit, in my experience).

  • Try going up a sister size, then take the gore in. Until I bend wires, the center is typically pretty vertical.
